BY CAR
Exit at Melk if you are coming from the west (Salzburg, Linz). Cross the Danube via the bridge, then enjoy a beautiful drive along the river through charming villages such as Spitz and Weißenkirchen. Before the tunnel in Dürnstein, turn left and drive uphill.
If you are coming from Vienna, take either the A1 or the A22 towards Krems. After Krems, continue a further 6 km upstream along the Danube to Dürnstein. After the tunnel, turn right and drive uphill.
Rothenhof is a small, separate district located between Unterloiben and Förthof/Krems.
BY BUS & TRAIN
In summer, the charming Wachau Railway operates along the left bank of the Danube between Krems and Emmersdorf.
Alternatively, there are excellent train connections, taking only about one hour from Vienna or St. Pölten to Krems. From there, you can continue either by public bus or by taxi (approx. 6 km to reach us).
Vienna International Airport is only a one-hour drive away. You can rent a car or use one of the many limousine services available. Travel by public transport is also very convenient.
